Colt 6920 Trooper

[Stickman]

Man, if you got a CCU in lieu of a Trooper (for the same price as a Trooper) then it's a win-win!

Kind of what I’m thinking as well, I checked the serial number when it came in, so I know that part is right, but I need to box check the label for the other info.

Out of curiosity, is the CCU gas block pinned?

Well, I was supposed to be getting the Trooper, and ended up with this, but I thought the box said Trooper, which was a bit odd. I need to find the box and double check it to make sure I’m not just crazy.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining either way. 😀

My Trooper box doesn’t say “Trooper”. It does say LE6920-R

The CCU gas is a cut down FSB, at least mine is, so yes it’s pinned.

I think I heard that some CCUs had a different block but I really don’t know.

Thanks.

Sure looks to me like you got a CCU. The barrel profile, the gas block placement (midlength it appears), and the built-in QD sockets on the front and rear of Centurion rail - the Trooper rails don’t have those...

Curious to see what your box says...

The le6960 CCU is basically same rifle as 6920 but mid length gas? Any other differences?

The CCU's buttstock and pistol grip are Magpul units, and the handguard is a CMR from Centurion. The safety is ambidextrous, and the barrel has a light weight profile. It's definitely an upgraded rifle as far as I'm concerned.

I'd been considering one before the Trooper's prices dropped.

I have a trooper I bought a couple of month ago. It also has a cmr handguard. So I guess other than furniture, the ccu and trooper difference is the gas length?

While both Trooper and CCU handguards come from Centurion, they aren't the same. The OEM unit of the Trooper uses a slightly different lockup to the barrel nut, lacks the integrated QD sockets, and has fewer machined holes for cooling.

I've only had my Trooper for a few months, but it's been outstanding so far.
